Vacation
Fury Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vacation
Over too soon
Vacation
Over too soon
All wrong and gone away
But I just want to stay
No reprise
Solo remains

Can I get another day?
Vacation
Our brutal moon
Vacation
Please leave us soon
Peace lies inside the grey
Not far along
Just gone away
No reprise
Solo remains
Can I get another day?
Im so gone away
I've lost time
How can I retain all the wrongs I've done today?
He said, "Oh lord, I've tried,
My varied thoughts came out the same.
Buried are the ones I've failed to entertain"
Compromise
If peace lies inside the grey
Have I got time or am I just gone away?
So gone away

I'm wrong
You're gone

Overall Meaning

The song "Vacation" by Fury is a commentary on the fleeting nature of leisure time and how it can slip away too quickly. The repetition of the line "Vacation over too soon" emphasizes the disappointment and frustration the singer feels at not being able to fully enjoy their time off. The use of the word "brutal" to describe the moon suggests that the natural world can be hostile to human desires for relaxation and entertainment.

The lines "Peace lies inside the grey / Not far along / Just gone away" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggle to find contentment in the middle ground between excessive indulgence and strict self-control. The singer wonders if they have enough time to find a healthy balance before their vacation ends. The reference to a solo suggests a sense of loneliness or isolation despite being surrounded by people and activities.
